Specifically, the study investigate the level of women’s knowledge on the effect of pelvic floor exercises on maternal health of women of reproductive age in Benue State, analyse women’s views and perception of the effects of pelvic floor exercises on their maternal health in Benue State, assess the positive and negative effects of pelvic floor exercises on women’s maternal health in Benue State, and assess the practice level of exercises by women of reproductive age in Benue State in a bid to increase maternal health. The study employed the survey descriptive research design. A total of 194 responses were validated from the survey. From the responses obtained and analysed, the findings revealed that majority of pregnant women had positive attitude to pelvic floor exercise.
